The ideal first splash. A great all-purpose ride!

The Zildjian ZBT Splash Cymbal is bright, fast, and cutting. Sound grooves and round hammer strikes in a simple circular pattern on the top surface of ZBT cymbals magnify the basic sound of the distinctive ZBT alloy.

The bright, intense, high-pitched sound of the ZBT series cymbals cuts through the mix of other instruments. Sheet origin and precision lathing techniques create high-volume projection that speaks quickly and brightly with a rapid decay. Since ZBT cymbals are pressed and lathed from sheets of uniform, high-quality bronze alloy, they are remarkably consistent. The highly polished, brilliant finish looks fresh. Superb all-purpose ride cymbal. Excellent, clean stick articulation with controlled overtones. ZBT-Plus cymbals take Zildjian Bronze Technology up a notch with advanced hammering and lathing and enhanced sound for versatility, musicality, and professional performance.

Slice through the mix with this sizzling splash. Order now. Don't get taken for a ride - order yours from us today!

This is a pretty good splash.(hence the title.) Iv had an 8 inch for about a year and its doin fine. It has a small dent on the edge, and it tarnishes way to easily. Nice sound overall, it rings a little much. Its good for a begginer or intermediate player, but it tarnishes too easily and it could be better. But i like it.

First off if your buying a ZBT cymbal its for the price, I bought the cymbal because i wanted a cheap splash that would sound semi decent. I wasn't expecting anything amazing, just an okay cymbal. This cymbal fit my expectation. It is good for the price, however it does bend very easily and dent. Overall it sounds fine, so if you want a good cymbal for less this is your choice.

This cymbal (8 inch) has served me well for about 1 month. Then five or six cracks started to appear at the bell and then get bigger and bigger. Now it sounds like crap. I would only buy this if you need a cheap splash cymbal.

I have the 10" or at least had. This thing lasted for about a year with no damage minus small dings and dents that are usual for a cymbal you use a lot. It even sounded great after I accidentally stepped on it. Unfortunately I cracked from the edge to the middle after I hit it too hard a few too many times. Buy this!

I am a begginer, but have played for probably 6months. I like sabian mostly, but this zbt splash is great. It makes my crappy kit sound much better. Im saving up for a Sabian B8 Pack.
